CanPlant Details
• Our Story: Originally developed by Evergreen in the form of their Native Plant Database, we are a set of resources and tools to help anyone identify ecologically-appropriate plant species appropriate for restoration, gardening, and landscape design.CanPlant is managed by the team at Dougan & Associates, a well-established ecological consulting and design firm. D&A is based in Southern Ontario and has close to 40 years of experience in the fields of terrestrial biology, ecological assessment, and landscape architecture.CanPlant strives to carry on the work started by Evergreen, providing the plant database as a freely accessible resource. We are committed to using new media as a tool of engagement and to keep growing, finding new ways to foster ecological literacy.• Acknowledging the Land, Its First Peoples, and Traditional Knowledge: The geopolitical area called Canada resides on Indigenous land. This land comprises many different territories which have been inhabited by First Nations, Métis Nations, and Inuit peoples from the beginning. Respectful recognition of the history, culture, and information systems of our Indigenous communities needs to be part of our mission to connect people with plants. Furthermore, acknowledgement of our country's history and legacy of colonialism and the need for change must continually inform our work.Beyond simply including this text, we recognize that we have an obligation to use CanPlant's educational tools and media to help create dialogue around reconciliation, to promote Indigenous knowledge, and to cultivate strong relationships with the First Peoples of Canada.
